Add Some Glitz And Glam To Your Old Clothes With These Easy DIY Tutorials

By Kelsey Stoskopf

"I have nothing to wear" seems to be a common phrase many of us are guilty of saying. When in reality, we have a bunch of clothes that are just collecting dust in the back of our closets. Instead of going out to buy new clothes, try upcycling your old clothes to make them brand new. Here are 15 ways to turn your drab jeans, shirts and shoes into fabulous new pieces. 

Turn your white jeans into a patterned masterpiece.

You can easily turn plain white jeans into a fun and colorful piece. Simply place a lace pattern you love on your jeans and color in the pattern with a fabric marker. When you're done, lift up the lace and you're left with a beautiful pattern on your jeans! 

Turn An Old Sweatshirt Into A Cut-Out Masterpiece

To create a fun, cut-out sweatshirt, first cut the sweatshirt down the middle of the back. Next, cut different colored fabrics the same length. Tie them into bows and sew them on each edge on the back of the sweatshirt. 

Add some fun to your summer shorts.

Your old jean shorts don't need to be thrown away just yet. Pick out a piece of fabric you love, cut to fit one side and sew the piece into place. Love! 

A little lace goes a long way.

Take a plain white (or colored) shirt and chop off the sleeves. Use the sleeves to measure the right amount of lace you'll need to create new sleeves. Sew the lace carefully to the shirt for a rockin' new look. Find the full tutorial here. 

Send some love with these kiss pants.

All you need for these super cute pants is a pair of light-colored jeans, a kiss stamp and a fabric ink pad. Simply put the stamp in the fabric ink and place kisses all over your pants! Or, you could use your very own lipstick and kisses. 

Get a fierce look with animal print.

How cute and sassy are these animal print jeans?! To make these jeans you need bleach, gloves and an animal print reference. Simply paint the animal print onto your jeans with a bleach-dipped paint brush. Check out Fashion Rolla for the full tutorial.

Add a little lace to your Vans.

Do you have a boring pair of white shoes lying around? You can add a little girly charm to them by adding lace! Simply put glue all over the top of the shoe and place a piece of lace on top. Once dried, cut the lace to fit the shoe.

Create a cute, stylish tank.

Do you have any old t-shirts lying around? Well, make a cute tank top out of it! Cut off the sleeves and bottom of the t-shirt, then tie up the bottom into a cute knot. Or you can use the scraps to create a cute tie in the back.

Get a glam belt in no time.

This belt is super easy to make and it'll add a little flare to any outfit. Create a thick braid using your favorite colored yarn. Once braided, attach a fabulous brooch by wrapping metal wire around the belt. 

Add a sassy studded cuff to your jeans.

For this rocker-chic look first fold the bottom of your jeans into a cuff. Use fabric glue to attach studs to the cuffs. Let dry completely before wearing!

Grab an old t-shirt, sweatshirt or just any fabric you have. Wrap the fabric around your body once, twist it at the front to create a twist-like bow and wrap it around a second time. Tuck the end in at the waistband and pin into place. How cute!

We all have old shirts lying around. Instead of throwing them out, make a cute scarf out of them! Follow these simple, step-by-step instructions on how to make your own t-shirt scarf here. 

Class it up with a collar neckline.

Plain, boring shirts don't have to be just that. You can easily add a little class to a shirt by sewing on different sized pearls to the neckline of a v-neck. 

Add some flare to your wardrobe with faux fur vest.

For a cute look, cut two holes for arms in a piece of leather or faux fur fabric and you're done! You could even add a knot in the back. 

Create colorful distressed jeans.

To create these cute jeans simply sand down the area you want to be distressed. Then use an X-Acto knife to scrape distress marks into the jeans. You can do as many or as little as you want. Finally use a fabric marker to stain the distressed threads your favorite color!
